UserProfileServiceApplication

True

SPServiceApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the service application that contains the audiences to import.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a service application (for example, ServiceApp1); or an instance of a valid SPServiceApplication object.

SiteSubscription

False

SPSiteSubscriptionPipeBind

Specifies the site subscription containing the audiences to update.

The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name; a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a site subscription (for example, SiteSubscription1); or an instance of a valid SiteSubscription object.

DeleteExisting

False

SwitchParameter

Delete existing audiences prior to import.

Compile

False

SwitchParameter

Compile the audiences after import.

InputFile

True

String

XML file containing all audiences to import. The file can be generated using Export-SPAudiences.

MapFile

False

String

Generate a map file to use for search and replace of Audience IDs. Must be a valid filename.

AssignmentCollection

False

SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
